Experience the excitement of Hand Games, a traditional cultural game played by First Nations peoples across North America. Two teams of five players face off, hiding and guessing the location of objects while traditional songs and drumming set the rhythm of the game. Teams compete to earn points with 11 painted sticks, and the first team to collect all 11 wins!

This program is open to the public for team registration or individual drop-ins, and spectators are warmly invited to enjoy the lively competition. No cost to participate, registration is encouraged. Lunch will be provided both days, prizes to everyone who participates! Funded by the Friends of the Galt.
